Hey i was just wondering.....when one looks at a thread..and they see just how many, Views & Replies it has had....Does that counter just work for us members? Say if a Vistor (Non-member) reads the thread...does that count as a View.?.... Just Curious...That's All.... Cheers to All

I Knew I had to have it...It was Love at first sight....Although i knew better....For that Love at first sight has cost me alot in the Past Tee he... But I had to have this car.....Went to the Bank.....and Guess What......>>> They Laughed me out of the Bank.... Bummer Huh? Man That Car is Nice...The Curves and Lines are just There.....When i look at it...it speaks Volume... After all A Car is Just a Car....But That is A Jaguar..... Cheers to All....Don -
Model Prices Swap Meet VS Ebay?
XJ6 replied to DailyGrindCustoms's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Swap meets aka Flea Markets...is the best place to go. I get up at 5:00 am every Sat / Sun just to go the the Market (yep i am a bargin hunter) anyway i know a lot of the sellers, and they save the Model kits that they come by for Me....Now I never pay a lot.for a Model Kit...take a sealed little Revell Kit and me will pay only $5.00 maybe $7.00 depends on the subject.... little ole AMT Kits...$3.00 maybe $5.00.... Why just last weekend i came across a Aurora @ 1965 kit of a 1/25 scale FORD GT Complete ! $4.00... i have got some super Great Deals.. Back before the LHS (Riverside Hobbies) went out of business in 2011 i would buy kits and sell to them....And Boy did i do good...Always made my $$ back and would get store credit for a Good Amount.....That is why all of my Tamiya...Fujimi...Gunze Sangyo (High Tech Model) and other kits i have i have paid $0.00 I have sold the LHS store a total of 516 kits in the two years i dealt with them...Now i just need to build the 56 kits i have in my stash.. But back to the place to buy.....Get the word out...tell your friends....Neighbors.....Post on CL (Craig's list)....and Hit the yard sales..heck i even ask them if they have kits....If it seems right.. So Buy the kits when i get enough i Just post them on CL and sell them....I even have buyers that come 35 miles to buy from me...And Always...Always make Money....Keep a Get or two...and they are free to me.....and i always give the Kid Down the street a kit...Gave him one for X-Mas now he won't leave me alone... So Yes...Look and you will Find-em....I even go to Micheals and use the 50% off coupon....Buy the Kit for $12.00 and sell for $20.00 along with the lot.. So hey looking for Kits....find me on the Net CL Sacramento, Ca Good Luck in your Hunt... Cheers...Don -

Attack of the floor monster AGAIN!
XJ6 replied to mnwildpunk's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
*** yes there is a way....what i have done is... Well i use Shrink Wrap Tubing...cut of a small piece for the end of the tweezers...and heat it up and will shrink to the contour of the tweezers.. This will give you a rubber grip..when holding small parts..and they won't fly off the tweezers.....plastic and metal is a slippery surface... This works good...takes up just a mute amount of space on the tweezers... Hope this help's... Cheers...Don
